Potty Painter

About

Potty Painter is a grid-based action game where you link dotted lines to clear squares while dodging enemies. You start with 5 lives and 3 freeze power-ups to stall foes for 10 seconds. The game shifts between two character sets one level has you as a monkey avoiding tribesmen the next you’re a paint roller dodging teddies. Each completed level unlocks a bonus round where steering a teddy to a banana nets 1000 extra points. The game’s oddball premise and alternating character designs make it stand out. Released in 1983 it ran on Commodore C64 VIC-20 and Spectrum. Its simple mix of puzzle timing and evasion has a cultish charm. Players appreciate the quirky shifts from jungle survival to toy-filled chaos though the core loop feels more novelty than innovation.
